Cast me not
in any mold
of your preconceived
ideas and notions

For I am
A woman
With my own
Intelligence and Intentions

Contained
I shall be not
In contours
Predefined


I morph,
I change,
As I evolve
Not in any orbit will I revolve


Chisel me not like
Some statue fine
For I am neither divine
Nor a concubine


Label me not as
Fertile or fallow
Or simply
as shallow


I am not
just a mother
sister or wife
I am a woman dignifed


At times
whimsical
at times
emotional

I can be spiritual
Or plain evil
I am but a woman
Individual!
